Postabortion care (PAC) reduces maternal mortality and morbidity and addresses unmet need for family planning, a root cause of induced abortion.
Postabortion care, one of the only integrated service delivery models in international public health, provides an integrated package of maternal and child health (MCH) and family planning (FP) services for women having complications from a miscarriage, incomplete abortion, or an induced abortion.
USAID's PAC model has three components:
- Emergency treatment of complications
- Family planning counseling and services
- Community empowerment through community awareness and mobilization
This course provides an overview of postabortion care including its definition, objectives, justification, programming best practices, indicators for monitoring and evaluation, and strong evidence base.
